Speaking of which,

Last night we were parked at a club in a restricted parking lot in downtown
Halifax while we were out with a group of friends.  When we returned to our
Westy to go home, there was a Transporter parked right beside us - the rest
of the lot was empty!  It was neat, because I have never seen a transporter
in North America before, let alone anywhere in the Maritimes.

Cheers,

Dan

PS:  My wife swears she heard a whispering conversation in German just
before we walked up right beside the two vehicles...........
